World Premiere

Pearl Cleage's first play for middle schoolers

"I love that such a hard story was told in such a personal way that showed love, commitment, and the strength of family in such positive light. I praise the fact that it gently reminded our generation that they have a responsibility, just like the people 100 years ago and the people before them, to “better” our world for the next generation." —Jane Morgan, Alliance Theatre usher

"[This is a play] which folks from 10 to 90 will equally enjoy...This is a signature work which evolves from the concept that music can bring us all together as opposed to separating us." —Bob Heller, Atlanta Arts Scene

There was a not-so-long-ago moment when making music and making history were part of the same Atlanta dream. In 1910, that dream became a music festival that made history and changed the lives of two unsuspecting middle school time travelers forever. Take a trip back to the time before Instagram and ear buds when friendship could build a bridge to freedom. This play was especially written for middle schoolers and their families by Alliance Playwright in Residence, Pearl Cleage, in her first show for young audiences.
